This Venetian mask looks like a crow-headed alien assimilated by the Borg. Kaibara on Flickr found this mask among a bizarre cyborg mask collection in Venice. Click through for an image of the whole set.

Cool. technosavage funk
making a cyberpunk venetian mask, a how to guide:
step 1: buy generic mask with desired degree of facial coverage
step 2: cover mask in hot glue
step 3: dump old circut boards and wires on mask

Is the beak shape a reference to plague-doctor masks? Like this ([en.wikipedia.org])?
@helenanapier:
Very probably. Plague doctor masks are rampant in Venice, for Carnevale.
@helenanapier: I had never seen these before. Very cool and delightfully creepy.
Yeah, the crow one is the only cool one - mainly because it looks like a techono-fetish version of a traditional Carnival mask, and not a fan-made Borg mask.
